2.31 Release overview

Summary of all features and improvements we're announcing in this release

Updated today

Let’s face it - job title chaos, forgotten kudos, and spreadsheet-based OKRs aren’t exactly the dream. That’s why we’re bringing you new features to help your team stay aligned, appreciated, and focused on what really matters.

🧩Job Catalog: bring order to job title chaos

As your company grows, job titles can turn into a wild west of naming - Ruby Dev here, RoR Engineer there. Job Catalog helps you regain control by unifying all your job profiles in one place.

Use it to:

  • Align your hiring, performance, HR and compensation planning with structured roles;

  • Filter by Job Profiles in the People Directory;

  • Power up your automated Workflows and reporting with Job Profiles segmentation;

  • Submit job profile changes as a part of performance reviews and more.

Note: We're rolling out this feature gradually. If you’d like to try this feature, please contact us at csteam@peopleforce.io.

📥 OKR Imports: from spreadsheet to strategy

We’ve added a new Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) import option in Settings, enabling you to bulk-create or update OKRs via file upload. Simply click the Objectives import, upload your Excel or CSV template, and the system will use “Objective name + Employee ID/email” to ensure uniqueness - creating and updating both objectives and their key results automatically.

✔ Quickly set up OKRs for new hires;

✔ Save time by avoiding manual input;

✔ Ensure consistency across objectives;

✔ Access full import history for tracking.

🏆 Kudos: recognition that resonates

Give your teammates the appreciation they deserve with public Kudos using @mentions—whether it’s a shoutout to one person or the whole team. Kudos now appear in the News Feed (with comment and emoji support) and under “My Kudos,” team, and company-wide views in Performance.

  • Builds a visible culture of recognition by showcasing praise openly;

  • Boosts motivation through public acknowledgment of achievements;

  • Strengthens teamwork by celebrating contributions across the group;

  • Encourages continuous positive feedback throughout the organization.

Other updates

Core HR

  • Asset import now supports custom fields. Just add the internal names of your custom fields to the import template, and they’ll be mapped and imported automatically.

  • You’ll now find a new "Expiring passwords" checkbox under Settings → Authentications. When enabled, you can set how often users should reset their passwords (e.g., every 6 months). Once the set period passes, users will be prompted to update their password at login.

  • The Employment status field on the Personal tab has been renamed to Work status for clearer terminology.

  • Implemented a new datetime picker for 1-1 meetings, and the leave request form for improved date and time selection.

Recruit

  • When manually creating a candidate, the system blocks creation if a duplicate phone number is detected (when enabled in Company settings). A warning will appear with a list of matching candidates, clickable for users with the right permissions.

Perform

  • Feedback card added to every employee profile in the Performance tab—managers and indirect managers see their own reports, while admins get full visibility.

  • Objective exports now include a Tags column with each objective’s tags, alphabetically sorted and comma-separated for easier reporting.

  • When someone assigns a KPI to an employee, the assignee gets an instant “You got a new KPI!” email with a one-click link to review it.

  • A "+ New" button has been added to the Performance → Development page for creating development plans. Admins can create plans for any employee, managers for their direct reports, and employees for themselves only.

  • When a review cycle that requires peer reviewers goes live, every manager -and anyone else assigned to nominate peers - now receives a task in the To-Do widget to quickly access the Peer selection tab. This cuts chasing and admin, driving on-time nominations and smoother review cycles.

Pulse

  • Department information is now included in the anonymous surveys export.
